Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The causative pathogens implicated in otitis media include Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. They enter the middle ear as a result of an alteration in the eustachian tube, not from the inner ear, external ear, or interstitial spaces.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Diarrhea secondary to HIV/AIDS is an indication for treatment with octreotide. Laxative abuse, IBS, and E. coli infections would likely be treated with alternative antidiarrheal medications.
